A while ago Sandy and Theresa Waters started a drive to get legislation passed in Michigan to require insurance to cover low protein foods. A bill was created and the process was started. Its been very slow going, in the mean time, Blue Cross of Michigan has agreed to cover these low protein foods. (Perhaps to forestall the attempted legislation - my opinion.) In any case, it seems that they are now covering these foods! We submitted a reimbursement request and just got the check. I have created a forum topic so we can discuss any issues. |

 Â Â Â Our new site is finally going LIVE.
This web site will be our web presence going forward. Michigan PKU will try to add new content and keep it interesting, but this site really depends on you--our visitors. Try out the various features, the blogs, the recipes, create a group that may interest you, invite others to join. Watch for events coming up. Start a discussion in the forums. A cool thing are the maps. One shows all the locations of all visitors to the site, the other shows marks for each member who logs in. As people visit, and sign up on the web site the map will populate. You may find another PKUer in your same town. Click on their link and you can email them - and if you choose - exchange contact info. |

Our Goal The goal in creating this website is to offer families working with PKU every opportunity to make it what you want it to be! We are happy to be the hosts of the site but it can't possibly run on just our thoughts and information. We truly want to make this YOUR website- Michigan's own. One that any parent of a newly diagnosed baby will find helpful when they are working through the wealth of emotions surrounding a PKU diagnosis, as well as a new baby. A website that a maternal PKU could use in her struggle to return to or to stay on diet in an attempt to have a healthy baby. A website that will offer comfort to kids being pressured by their peers to change their diet or try other foods. A support center for all of us living in the PKU world. We plan to update this site on a regular basis and welcome your input to keep it interesting and informative. Sandy and John LaPrad |
